To Celebrate the Life of a Special Pet Lover

Paul

Paul Ames, brother of actor and comedian Brad Garrett, was a passionate advocate for animals, especially the dogs he cared for during his life. To honor his memory, Garrett and Nathan Adelson Hospice are creating a program that enhances the services we provide to those in our care and their furry friends.

Nathan Adelson Hospice recognizes the comfort, and companionship pets bring to patients at the end of life. Through our Pet Peace of Mind® - Paws For Paul program, we help patients care for their beloved pets while keeping them close.

Donations to Paws For Paul help us provide essential pet care, including:

  • Rehoming of pets when a patient or family member can no longer care for their pets.
  • Pet food, cat litter, and supplies
  • Basic veterinary care, including nail trims, medications, and vaccinations
  • Spaying and neutering when needed
  • ID tags and microchipping
  • Humane euthanasia in emergency situations

Funds generated from the Paws For Paul program will allow Nathan Adelson Hospice to increase the depth of those services currently provided, as well as being able to purchase items and services for patients such as:  

  • Food for in-home patients’ cats or dogs as needed
  • Cat litter, litter supplies for in-home patients’ cats as needed
  • Vet care for small needs (nail trims, medications, vaccinations, etc.)
  • Spaying and neutering if needed (state law requires it) 
  • ID tags and micro-chipping patients’ pets as needed
  • Humane euthanasia (emergencies only)

We need your continued support!

You can continue to show your support by contributing in one of many ways.  You can contribute to the Paws For Paul - The Paul Ames Pet Therapy Program financially to help some of the many animals who depend on us for food, shelter and medical needs every day.  You can also contribute by volunteering. 

 

Volunteering

We are actively recruiting volunteers. It is our hope that the volunteers who apply have a genuine desire to care for the animals we serve with love, respect and patience and have a basic knowledge in animal handling. Nathan Adelson Hospice requires that all volunteers go through orientation to include an overview of hospice, the Pet Peace of Mind Program and basic training to include animal handling techniques, animal first aid and CPR.

This program enables patients to keep their pets at home with them throughout their end of life journey. The following services will be available to patients and their pets:

  • Assistance with veterinary and grooming appointments
  • Assistance with feeding / pet food
  • Play time
  • Maintaining a clean environment for the pet
